Policy Evaluation Marginal Structural Model/Evidence
Method evidence record

Policy Evaluation Marginal Structural Model

A Policy Evaluation Marginal Structural Model (MSM) is a causal inference framework that estimates the population-average effect of a policy by using inverse probability weighting to create a pseudo-population in which treatment assignment is independent of measured confounders, enabling unbiased comparison of potential outcomes under different policy scenarios from observational data.
